  abstract = {When users interact with the Web today, they leave sequential digital trails
on a massive scale. Examples of such human trails include Web navigation,
sequences of online restaurant reviews, or online music play lists.
Understanding the factors that drive the production of these trails can be
useful for e.g., improving underlying network structures, predicting user
clicks or enhancing recommendations. In this work, we present a general
approach called HypTrails for comparing a set of hypotheses about human trails
on the Web, where hypotheses represent beliefs about transitions between
states. Our approach utilizes Markov chain models with Bayesian inference. The
main idea is to incorporate hypotheses as informative Dirichlet priors and to
leverage the sensitivity of Bayes factors on the prior for comparing hypotheses
with each other. For eliciting Dirichlet priors from hypotheses, we present an
adaption of the so-called (trial) roulette method. We demonstrate the general
mechanics and applicability of HypTrails by performing experiments with (i)
synthetic trails for which we control the mechanisms that have produced them
and (ii) empirical trails stemming from different domains including website
navigation, business reviews and online music played. Our work expands the
repertoire of methods available for studying human trails on the Web.},

  abstract = {Trust and reputation systems represent a significant trend in decision support for Internet mediated service provision. The basic idea is to let parties rate each other, for example after the completion of a transaction, and use the aggregated ratings about a given party to derive a trust or reputation score, which can assist other parties in deciding whether or not to transact with that party in the future. A natural side effect is that it also provides an incentive for good behaviour, and therefore tends to have a positive effect on market quality. Reputation systems can be called collaborative sanctioning systems to reflect their collaborative nature, and are related to collaborative filtering systems. Reputation systems are already being used in successful commercial online applications. There is also a rapidly growing literature around trust and reputation systems, but unfortunately this activity is not very coherent. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of existing and proposed systems that can be used to derive measures of trust and reputation for Internet transactions, to analyse the current trends and developments in this area, and to propose a research agenda for trust and reputation systems.},

@article{larsson2006hymenochaetales,
  abstract = {The hymenochaetoid clade is dominated by wood-decaying species previously classified in the artificial families Corticiaceae, Polyporaceae and Stereaceae. The majority of these species cause a white rot. The polypore Bridgeoporus and several corticioid species with inconspicuous basidiomata, live in association with brown-rotted wood, but their nutritional strategy is Dot known. Mycorrhizal habit is reported for Coltricia perennis but needs confirmation. A surprising element in the hymenochaetoid clade is a group of small white to brightly pigmented agarics earlier classified in Omphalina. They form a subclade together with some similarly colored stipitate stereoid and corticioid species. Several are associated with living mosses or one-celled green algae. Hyphoderma pratermissum and some related corticioid species have specialized organs for trapping and killing nematodes as a source of nitrogen. There are no unequivocal morphological synapomorphies known for the hymenochaetoid clade. However almost all species examined ultrastructurally have dolipore septa with continuous parenthesomes while perforate parenthesomes is the normal condition for other homobasidiomycete clades. The agaricoid Hymenochaetales have not been examined. Within Hymenochaetales the Hymenochaetaceae forms a distinct clade but unfortunately all morphological characters supporting Hymenochaetaceae also are found in species outside the clade. Other subclades recovered by the molecular phylogenetic analyses are less uniform, and the overall resolution within the nuclear LSU tree presented here is still unsatisfactory.},

@misc{Vazquez2008,
  abstract = {  Data clustering, including problems such as finding network communities, can
be put into a systematic framework by means of a Bayesian approach. The
application of Bayesian approaches to real problems can be, however, quite
challenging. In most cases the solution is explored via Monte Carlo sampling or
variational methods. Here we work further on the application of variational
methods to clustering problems. We introduce generative models based on a
hidden group structure and prior distributions. We extend previous attends by
Jaynes, and derive the prior distributions based on symmetry arguments. As a
case study we address the problems of two-sides clustering real value data and
clustering data represented by a hypergraph or bipartite graph. From the
variational calculations, and depending on the starting statistical model for
the data, we derive a variational Bayes algorithm, a generalized version of the
expectation maximization algorithm with a built in penalization for model
complexity or bias. We demonstrate the good performance of the variational
Bayes algorithm using test examples.

  abstract = {Co-clustering has emerged as an important technique for mining contingency data matrices. However, almost all existing co-clustering
algorithms are hard partitioning, assigning each row and column of the data matrix to one cluster. Recently a Bayesian co-clusteringapproach has been proposed which allows a probability distribution membership in row and column clusters. The approach usesvariational inference for parameter estimation. In this work, we modify the Bayesian co-clustering model, and use collapsedGibbs sampling and collapsed variational inference for parameter estimation. Our empirical evaluation on real data sets showsthat both collapsed Gibbs sampling and collapsed variational inference are able to find more accurate likelihood estimatesthan the standard variational Bayesian co-clustering approach.},

Well-known examples of graphical models include Bayesian networks, directed graphs representing a Markov chain, and undirected networks representing a Markov field. These graphical models are extended to model data analysis and empirical learning using the notation of plates. Graphical operations for simplifying and manipulating a problem are provided including decomposition, differentiation, and the manipulation of probability models from the exponential family. Two standard algorithm schemas for learning are reviewed in a graphical framework: Gibbs sampling and the expectation maximization algorithm. Using these operations and schemas, some popular algorithms can be synthesized from their graphical specification.

Such models are often difficult or impossible to design by hand. Recent research demonstrates that, instead, we can "learn" a dynamical and/or appearance model from captured data, and then synthesize realistic new data from the model. For example, we can capture the motions of a human actor and then generate new motions as they might be performed by that actor. Bayesian reasoning is a fundamental tool of machine learning and statistics, and it provides powerful tools for solving otherwise-difficult problems of learning about the world from data.
